i found this program on an audible channel, and it has really captivated me :

it dives deep into home front life for Americans during WWII. brief description :

Forget what you think you know about America during World War II. Movies like Saving Private Ryan and Dunkirk only tell half the story -- the story of what happened abroad. But there's so much more about the world of the Greatest Generation that is brought to life by The Home Front: Life in America During WWII, the new Audible Original Series featuring the evocative voice of Martin Sheen. The 16-part audio series draws upon a vast library of archival recordings taken during the years leading up to and during World War 2. You hear voices of Americans displaying the sorts of emotions that don't translate into a history textbook as they recount the hard realities faced at home and within US ranks, even as we went to war against the Nazis.

this is WWII history from a perspective that i've wondered about. i took a class on propaganda films of WWII, and they covered that part as well. i find that i can't stop listening. it's a pretty good series, and i wanted to recommend it.

On the opposite end I watched a documentary on the home life of the families of German soldiers occupying the Eastern Front. I remember the children hanging their stuffed animals to represent the Russians hanged on the front under Daddys watchful eyes.
